Sunday Thoughts.

Justice is the pillar that upholds the whole fabric of human society.
 No man can stand entirely alone. and independent of all his fellow creatures
 The world is abused by those who employ its advantages to the injury or oppression of their brethren.
 The conviction is felt in every breast that he who gave us being has the abso- lute right to regulate our conduct.
 Banish sobriety, temperance and purity and you tear up the foundations of all public order and all domestic quiet. You render every house di- yided and miserable abode, resounding with terms of shame and mutual re- brooches of infamy. You leave noth- ing respectable in human character. You change the man into brute.
 The wicked man whom you behc!a surrounded with state and splendor. and upon whom you think the favors of Heavens so improperly lavished. may be a wretch. pining away in secret with thousands griefs unknown to the world. That poor man who ap- pears neglected and overlooked, nay, in his humble station. be the partaker of all the moral and all the social ioye that exhilerate the heart. may be liv ing cheerful. eontenled aad happy. ~- sissea. hgl;eHaa

A Surprised Teacher.

A number of St. Paul boys are at- tending Notre Dame university. at South Bend Ind. There is also at the school student from France, full- iledged marquis, who. in his utter ignorance of the English language and American customs, has been affording the boys good deal of amusement Recently the boys have been teaching the marquis colloquial English--I shall not say whether any of the St. Paul youths were among his instructors and have been succeeding admirably. as the sequence will show. Through deficiency of intellect or natural obtuseness the mar quis acquired his knowledge of English in parrot-liks way, given expression for given occasion. Ia Ollendorff.

Religion ill Western Texas.

While in Val Verde county in the summer of 1886, vestigating some land titles l attended a eamp-meeting. The minister who presided invited those who wished to be prayed for to occupy the front seats. A green looking young knight of the lariat, v among others. made his way to the front. He was taken in charge by one of the deacons. who thus addressed him:
 Now. my dear young friend, don't you love Jesus-Jesus who died that you might live forever in the world beyond-don you love him?'
 "Wa-al." was the answer, I've hear tell on him, an l guess l hain' | got nuthin agin' him"
 Let the reader join in indulgng the hope that time has brought to an in- telligent idea of Christianity our young friend who had 'nothin agin hin" and will quote the prayer of the Chaplain of a West Texas com- pany just before the stormiug of Mon terey, during the Mexican war:
 "Oh. Lord, said he, we are about to Join battle with vastly superior num- bers of the enemy. and Heavenly Fath- CT. we would like nightly for you 10 be on our side and help us, but if you can't do it for Heavens sake don't go over to the greasers, but just lie low and keep dark, and you will see one of the toughest fights you ever saw in all your born days"
 In examining history of religion in the early days of Texas I find the fol- flowing remarkable language to have been used in western county during tho course of sermon:
 Now, my dear friends, let us reason together. Suppose you lose your pro- perty, you can work for more: if you lose your wives, you can marry again; were you to lose your children, you might have more; but if you lose your immortal souls, up the spout you go. -Detrou Free Press.

FACTS ABOUT coRNs.

Useful Information Concerning TheII
Cause and Most Reliable Cure.
A few words now on the subject of corns.
Readers will remember that the skin con.
sists of two layers the cuticle scarf skin,
or outer layer, which is given of in fine
scales from the cults or true skin, the
bearer Of the blood vessels and nerves pro.
tected by the cuticle. It is a beautiful
adaptation Of nature that the cuticle be-
comes thiclzened when the skin is subject
to continued dangers Thus the cuticle is
thiczest on the soles Of the feet, which are
always subject to pressure from the
ground; similarly the cuticle OF the hands
OF mechanics, and those who in their
trades ara obliged to handle rough, hot or
poisonous substances become thickened,
and, being itSelf insensitive and blood less,
protects the true skin, and enables it to
continue its important functions un.
harmed. In a similar manner patches
are formed by the thickening of the
cutfcle on the finger Of the semp-
stress, and on the fingers Of those who
play on stringed instruments, and these
patches coincide with the parts which
come in contact with the needle or strings.
These portions Of thickened cuticle are in
reality corns, and they are formed on tho
feet in order to protect the true skin from
the pressure of an nI-made boot, or from
any roughness on the inside. This being
SO, it is evident that the talk of the ''rootF
of corn, and of extracting the same, as
chiropodists do, is pure quackery. Ths
corn is really a natural protection, and to
have it cut, or dragged out is not only
dangerous but useless, for if the cause con-
tinues it must grow again The only way
70 permanently get rid of corns is to wear
properly fitting boots, thus removing their
cause. The corns themselves may be re.
moved by the use of a solvent, such as cuI-
lodion saturated with salicylic to be paint
cd on at night and when the thickening
layers of cuticle have been separated, the
tender skin they covered should be for
while protected with a morsel Of felt or
cotton wool Family Doctor.

Tue nickname .'W DOLLY Horse" applied

of the strange soubriquet, writes cor

seems that after Fremont had first an

day horse, with patches of wool stuck on.
But it took, and the Snowman began to
make money on it. One fac day Senator

the humbug, and started out, vowing to
drive it out of town before evening. TAX
